Margate. Kent.——At 12.55 in the early morning of the 6th of November, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that a yacht at anchor half a mile north-west of the coastguard station was making heavy weather. There was a rough sea, and a strong north-westerly breeze was blowing, and she was in danger of driving ashore. At 1.20 therefore, the life-boat The Lord Southborough, Civil Service No. 1, was launched. She found the sailing yacht Bluebird, of London, a quarter of a mile off shore, with one man on board, and stood by her until low water. The weather had moderated by then, and the yacht seemed to be in no difficulty, so the life-boat returned to her station, arriv- ing at 7.45. One of the crew, Benjamin Frost, hurried down to the life-boat station, but collapsed and died in the boat-house.—(See page 407.)—Re- wards, £22 3s. 6d..
